Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

This thread is a mighty jumpy one! I love lamp


I'm on a horse

This is the bike your bike could be. Look back at the Garmin now back at me. Your bike is now carbon. Diamonds!

So, how deeply did you drink the KoolAid? If you drank, the bike must be SRAM-equipped. If you drank DEEPLY, it's SRAM Red, with a Force front derailleur!

Caad9 is useless when you don't show up for the Tuesday nighters at the Autobahn. Slacker!
At least Scott was there to represent Psimet.

i have some thoughts and they involve SRAM, Quarq, 3T, Thomson, Toupe, Conti, PSIMET, and a white garage door. once i get the build thoughts finalized BF will be in the know. later.
